My System Specs

Default

What everyone is failing to see is that the new GTX cards have a name and really nothing else. My issues with my 5870 are a bare minimum and a minor annoyance at worst. Get a 5870 now that the newer released 5870s should have most kinks worked out of them vs waiting to beta test essentially the new nvidia cards when they do come out which I dont see happening in the very near future,(sept release is my bet). Of course 5770s in xfire is a pretty sweet setup too since I had one for a bit and decided to go back to single gpu. Definatly make sure to get the egg cooler models as you can remove the silly shroud and use the very nice zalman flower heatpipe cooler.
